18 |16 | 13 | 10 | 9.5 | 8.5 | 7.5 | 6
9.75 is the FINAL answer
Let b and s be the velocity of the boat and stream respectively....
3(b-s)=27
b-s=9
b=9+s we will use this in the second equation....
2(b+s)=30
b+s=15, now use b found above in this to get:
9+s+s=15
2s+9=15
2s=6
s=3, and since from earlier b-s=9, b=9+s so
b=12
So the speed of the boat is 12mph and the stream is 3 mph
<span>erry starts rowing at 2 pm from the west end of the lake, and Tao starts rowing from the east end of the lake at 2:05 pm.
------
Terry DATA:
rate = 60 meter/min ; time = x min ; distance = r*t = 60x meters
-----
Tao DATA:
rate = 40 meter/min ; time = x-5 min ; distance = r*t = 40(x-5) meters
--------------------------
If they always row directly towards each other at what time will the two meet?
------
Equation:
dist + dist = 2000 meters
60x + 40(x-5) = 2000
20x = 1800
x = 90 minutes

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A = 25% of 16 =
Selling price after reduction = 16 - 2 = $14
B= 25% of 14
= 3.5
Selling price = 14 - 3.5 = $10.5
C = 25% of 10.5
= 2.625 = $ 2.63
Selling price = 10.5 - 2.63 = $ 7.87
Answer:
Improper fraction: 39/34
Proper fraction: 1 5/34
Decimal: 1.147 (rounded to the nearest thousandths).
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve each expression given, if it has the same result, then the expressions is equivalent. Solve the given expression:
4 7/8 ÷ 4 1/4
First, change all fractions into improper fractions:
4 7/8 = (4 * 8)/8 + 7/8 = 32/8 + 7/8 = 39/8
4 1/4 = (4 * 4)/4 + 1/4 = 16/4 + 1/4 = 17/4
Next, find common denominators. Note that what you do to the denominator, you must do the numerator:
(17/4) * (2/2) = (34/8)
39/8 ÷ 17/4
Solve. First, change the division sign into multiplication, and then flip the second fraction:
39/8 ÷ 17/4 = 39/8 x 4/17
Multiply straight across:
39/8 x 4/17 = (39 x 4)/(8 x 17) = 156/136 = 39/34 (simplified), or 1 5/34.
